Another game of the Stanley Cup Finals is in the books and the Ducks now lead the series 3 games to 1. The first period was back and forth but with only 0.3 seconds left Alfredsson scored to give the Senators a 1-0 lead. The second period was almost all Ducks. Andy McDonald scores 2 goals within 60 seconds of each other. With only 2 minutes left in the second Dany Heatley scores to tie the game at 3. The third period was also mostly all Ducks. About 4 minutes in they score their third goal, which was the game winning goal.

It was great hockey to watch, but a lot of things pissed me off. Only a minute into the game Chris Neil of the Senators basically gets nudged and falls down. One of the biggest dives I’ve seen in a hockey game. Penalty on the Ducks. Then Ryan Getzlaf charges towards the net and barely touches Senators goalie Ray Emery. Emery fly’s back like he got punched in the face. Another huge dive that the Ducks got penalized for. That call what total BS, Emery was barely touched, not to mention he was out of the crease. And finally the thing that really pissed me off about this game was in the final seconds of the second period Afredsson is going up center ice and is about to shoot the puck at the net because there are only a few seconds left on the clock, then he changes his mind and shoots the puck right at Scott Neidermayer of the Ducks. It was so blatant and just a plain cheap shot. After it happened a lot of the players went over and got in Alfredsson’s face. He ended up punching one, which is a penalty for sure. At the beginning of the second period there were only 2 penalties, and none of them were on Alfredsson. The officiating in this series has been horrible, at times it’s like if you touch someone you will get a penalty, but they again you can shoot the puck directly at a player and then punch another one in the face and you won’t get anything. You can check out the recap of the game here.

So now it’s on the game 5 in Anaheim. It would be really nice for the Ducks to finish this out and win the cup at home. I do want them to win, but I don’t want hockey to be over. Go Ducks!

I first read about this over at Jon Waraas’s blog then followed the story to WickedFire. So Tyler Cruz made a post on his blog about is new site and was talking about how he liked the forum layout that he got designed. He complained about the waiting so long for previous layouts and he said this new layout company was really great, especially their turnaround time. Then he goes on to complain about people e-mailing him asking him who this design company is. So what does he do? He wants you to pay him $25 for the name of the design company! Here it is directly in the post…

So, if you really want to know who I used, it’s going to cost you $25. Sorry.

What an asshole, I’m sorry but are you that desperate for money? I know for a fact that you are not so why make people pay for a name? That’s just stupid and goes against what most of us believe in. We always help people out if they need it, we don’t charge them for a damn name. Anyways WickedFire pointed out if you google “who designed starcraft2.net” it says Custom skin designed by ForumTemplates.com. Now why the hell would anyone pay you $25 Tyler? Get over yourself…

Well I think May was a good month of blogging for me. I only managed to write 26 post compared to last month’s 30, but this month was quite a busy one for me. I have been working on a lot of reviews for ThinkComputers and writing quite a few articles for ThinkGaming. Luckily I got 3 new writers for ThinkComputers, now I can distribute all the products I get in to review between the 4 of us so I don’t have to do all the reviews myself.

The most popular post of the month was my article on John Chow. In May I also wrote 2 more articles on two of my friends Jon Waraas and Alex Billington. Both of these guys and John Chow are doing great things on the internet so make sure you check out the articles. But as I said this month has been a busy one so I did not get as much done as I would have liked. Hopefully I can write more interesting articles this month and maybe have a contest. Thanks to all the top commentators on the blog and people who visit. If you have any suggestions for post or topics to write about leave a comment!

This is a day I really did not think would happen. All of the speculation and rumors that Agloco was a scam. Well now we have what we have been waiting for the viewbar, the thing that makes us money! In order to download the viewbar you should receive an e-mail from Agloco saying that the viewbar is ready for download. These e-mails are sent out in order that you have signed up. So if you have signed up yesterday just sit tight and you will get your e-mail. Once you login to your account you will see a small button that says download viewbar. After you agree to the terms you can download the viewbar.

I have been playing around with the viewbar for the past 20 minutes and it’s much better than the old All Advantage bar. It is much smaller sitting at the bottom of your screen. Although I’m not getting served any ads, it’s just blank right now. In the e-mail from Agloco they said the ad targeting system will not be fully active at first. So I am getting paid to look at nothing!

As I said the viewbar is very small and you really do not notice it, which is very nice. I did my daily morning routine of posting news on ThinkComputers and it really did not get in my way at all. There is also a search box and favorites button on the bar for easy searching and access to your favorites in both Firefox and Internet Explorer.

So how am I doing on signups? Well to be honest I really did not push Agloco that much, mainly because of all of the speculation. The Agloco site is getting hammered right now so I cannot even see how many signups I have, but it know it’s not a lot 24 was my last count. Now I’m really behind because so many people have signed up!

If you have never heard of Agloco then you should signup! You can read my first post about it where I explain how it works. In simple terms you install a small viewbar on your computer and it serves you ads. So you basically be paid to surf the web. Making money couldn’t be easier! Also you get a cut of whatever people who you have signed up make so signup now!

Well I have been so busy this week that I forgot to take a screenshot of the top commentators. So I decided instead of not making this post I would just go through and count the comments. It was not fun, but I did it! Here are the top commentators for May done Leo Chiang style.

Justin loves custom PC’s. This one has to be one of my favorites, it’s so clean. You can also add your PC!

Moulinneuf does not have a website, although with all of the commenting I really think he should have a blog or something!

The Business Twins will show you 10 Steps to build traffic to your blog and even how to burn fat!

Jacob was nice enough to list me in his top 5 blogs and talks about what gives him motivation to blog.

Damien has the low down on the new X-13D Doritos that taste like a cheeseburger! He also gives you the info on 3 blog networking and promotion services.

Those are the top commentators for May, it’s June now so hopefully at the end of this month I won’t forget to take a screenshot and have to count all the comments again!
